  installed     slackpkgplus     slackpkg+-1.7.0d1-noarch-13mt

I don't know if it's normal or not
But every time I do : slackpkg update
It downloads all changelog.txt

With this message :

Code:

Updating the package lists...

force to download ChangeLog

...

Files //var/lib/slackpkg/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc and /tmp/slackpkg.pO3Ok5/CHECKSUMS.md5.asc differ

Unfortunately slackpkg+ need to work with slackware 14.2 so it download many files even if slackpkg 15 does not need it.

Ok. Not a concern for me

@zerouno thanks, what is slackpkg+-1.7.0d1-noarch-13mt.txz and where do I find it?

I managed to find the regular non-d1 update on sourceforge, but don't see any d1 on github and linuxq search doesn't work worth a d so no way to search for what it might be.

Should I try using github master from https://github.com/zuno/slackpkgplus ?

Once you have slackpkgplus installed
Uncomment this line, in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkgplus.conf

Code:

MIRRORPLUS['slackpkgplus']=http://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+dev/

EDIT : and of course, comment the /slackpkg+/ line

@marav thanks, I need to save a note for myself with these url's, since it's very hard to find them later - somehow url's for slackpkg+ are not at the top of every search engine

. I never update slackpkg itself from the slackpkg repo because I want to test any new version and I also make a few small display tweaks for myself to every new version.

What do you mean by "not at the top of every search engine" ? :-)

Right those do show up, the ones I have trouble with are the linuxquestions posts and the github and slackpkg+dev which I don't think ever show up easily.

you not need to search on google or LQ

from config file on slackpkg+1.7 non-d1

Code:

# use this to keep the slackpkg+ package updated to the latest stable release
MIRRORPLUS['slackpkgplus']=http://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+/

# use the development branch to use the mainline version and help develop by reporting bugs.
#MIRRORPLUS['slackpkgplus']=http://slakfinder.org/slackpkg+dev/
